Valentine’s Day is on its way, and across the country thousands of couples are drawing up their plans for that most romantic of evenings.

But when everyone wants to go out for a candlelit dinner, things can get a little busy – not to mention expensive.

Thankfully, supermarkets have noticed this, and dining in for two is the new going out. Here are the best meal deals available for your cosy night inside this Valentine’s Day.

£7 gets you:
1 main
1 side
1 dessert

Aldi’s Valentine’s Day meal deal isn’t actually necessarily designed for two, so it may not work out as cheap as you’d expect. This no frills deal also isn’t at a set price, but is instead a range of budget options from the budget supermarket’s ‘Specially Selected’ range.

However, for as little as £7 you can get your hands on quite the feast, with British beef wellington, sirloin steaks with pink peppercorn butter, truffled macaroni cheese, and Orkney cheese and chicken gratin all on offer.

ASDA

ASDA’s Valentine’s deal is one of the cheaper ones out there, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less impressive.

Starters include Sauvignon Blanc & Wild Garlic Mussels, while the pork belly and apple hoglets will go down a treat as a main.

There don’t seem to be many veggie or vegan choices on offer here, and those with special dietary needs seem to be consigned to just picking at a few sides, but the meat eaters out there will find plenty to enjoy among ASDA’s limited range.

Those who would rather not drink alcohol have a choice of alcohol-free prosecco or lemonade.

Tesco

With plenty of food included from Tesco’s ‘Finest’ range in their Valentine’s Day deal, you needn’t worry about looking ungenerous on the big day.

Veggie options are limited but broader than some other deals, with the likes of buttery pastry filled slow roast tomato and mozzarella tartlets to start, goat’s cheese with maple roasted butternut and caramelised onion for main, and coconut, mango and passion fruit desserts to finish.

If you’re not a pudding person, you can load up on carbs and swap out your dessert for potato dauphinoise or a selection of green vegetables.

Really push the boat out by opting for champagne as your tipple of choice – though you’ll only get a half-sized bottle.
